PRESIDENTS LETTER FOR APRIL

I don’t know where to begin but hopefully I won’t put you to sleep and you can get some good info about our hobby through this blog.
First I want to thank all our members and friends who have come to our aid in helping fellow members through the horrible floods of March. We will have several fund raisers from now until Summer Smash to help our fellow members. I want to give a special thanks to Bruce Pascal for his generous red line donation to George D. Diecast space .com has also started a fund raiser on their site to help raise money, big thanks to CJ a true friend to the Rhode Island Hot Wheels Club. If anyone would like to donate please do so at the club table this Tuesday night. Give your support and be at the next meeting in these tuff times it is important to join together and help out the best we can. There will also be a 50/50 Raffle at the club to raise money; big prizes so don’t miss out.

Summer Smash is moving along on schedule there will be a mass mailing coming very soon. Plenty of new events and cars will be at the Smash so don’t miss out. The Smash has reached out all over the country as the number one east coast show. Tickets are selling well so don’t miss out, last year was a sell out and this year should be no different. Make sure you reserve your hotel rooms soon.

Plenty of new cars are out many of them will be on display at the next meeting. Along with many other cool hot wheel items. I would like to encourage others to bring displays in of your favorite cars, it is always cool to see what people collect.

This months feature race will be police cars any diecast company is fine but it has to be a police car no wanna be’s.

Last months meeting was great with plenty of activity but our special guest from “Children’s Wishes” gave us the blessing to send our 4 year old wish child to Disney. Nicholas is a great little boy who we will work very hard to raise the money to make his wish come true, please
be generous.

This Saturday is the Lincoln Johnny Lightning club and the Connecticut Valley meeting Please attend and support our other clubs. Sunday is the Southern New England Hot wheel Club and the third Sunday is the East Coast Real Rider Club Meeting. It is a lot of fun to go to our neighboring clubs it’s a real good time.

If you would like to send Dan an email in Afghanistan he would love to hear from you, send it to daniel.w.spaulding@afghan.swa.army.mil


Well that’s it for me, enjoy the great spring weather and happy hunting.
